How to purify water from phenol, dyes and other pollutants created by humans? You can add some reagent to the water, but it might result in even more problematic pollution.
And this is where photocatalysts come to rescue. These are semiconductor materials that, under the influence of ultraviolet light (special radiation or simply the Sun), promote the decomposition of difficult-to-oxidize pollutants, thus ensuring water purification.
In the last two summers the usual climate of the Chelyabinsk Region has changed dramatically: temperature fluctuations and heavy rains have caused losses to owners of grain fields. Researchers from SUSU, in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture of the Chelyabinsk Region, are looking for methods to reduce the risks of food grain losses. The work is being carried out within the framework of the Science and Universities national project.
Within the framework of the Priority 2030 program under the Science and Universities national project, a team of scientists led by Vladimir Zhivulin, Candidate of Sciences (Physics and Mathematics), Senior Research Fellow at the Crystal Growth Laboratory of the Research Institute of Non-conventional Materials and Resource-Saving Technology, developed a unique product – a self-calibrating temperature sensor based on ferrite elements.
International Literacy Day, a holiday aimed at proving the importance and relevance of this phenomenon, is celebrated worldwide on September 8th. On this occasion, we spoke to Associate Professor of the SUSU Department of the Russian Language and Literature, Candidate of Sciences (Philology), linguist Larisa Kornilova and discussed the understanding of literacy in the modern world, trends associated with it, criteria for a literate person, and much more.
– Could you please define literacy? Does this concept have a specific interpretation?

A scientist from South Ural State University has made an interesting confession. Candidate of Sciences (Engineering) Kirill Shuldiakov caught himself thinking in his childhood: "I need to create something amazing, monumental. So that when I am gone, this "something" remains and serves people for a long time". Frankly, this is far from an ordinary childhood dream… In the meantime, the young researcher is ready to make it come true. Moreover, to do it in the Arctic.
As part of their qualifying diploma paper, graduates of the SUSU Institute of Architecture and Construction Yiwen Bian and Xinyu Zhu designed a venue for wedding ceremonies at Lake Smolino. Three styles were proposed for an open space for ceremonies: European, Chinese and Russian. When designing the Chinese style venue, students decided not to opt for the traditional bright red colours so that the setting looked fresh and natural. A European style wedding, as the students see it, implies a lot of green plants and wooden arches symbolizing the Western culture chic.

A young scientist and Senior Research Fellow from the SUSU Laboratory for High-entropy Materials Majid Naseri is 36. However, the articles, where he acts as a co-author, are nearly every month published in the world's major scientific journals, such as Journal of Alloys and Compounds, or Intermetallics. He is working on the problem of creating high-entropy alloys. These are the alloys based on five or more metals, each of which adds to specific properties. And for his research he also uses some "top-notch" mathematics: automata theory, modern geometry, and fuzzy logic.
